Multi-Criteria Decision Making Methods for Designing Optomechatronic Systems

Abstract:

When designing unique optomechatronic systems with the application of innovative solutions, decision making with respect to a number of technical and economic criteria seems to be an essential problem. The multi-criteria decision theory is a process of selecting the best solution to the set of alternatives. The paper presents the application of the TOPSIS method for working towards a solution to decision making in the process of designing a unique measurement vision system. The set of alternatives for the vision system has been considered with regard to benefit and cost criteria. As a result, the best alternative has been identified, which represents the highest similarity to the ideal solution expressed by the value of the relative closeness index.
